#ThrowbackThursday: See Alexa Chung Way Before She Was An It Girl

It’s hard not to get inspired by #ThrowbackThursday—the nostalgic viral hashtag that has Instagram and Twitter constantly posting old-school photos of, well, pretty much anything. That said, we’ve decided to contribute in our own small way by bringing you a quick throwback picture or video of one of our favorite fashion personalities or celebrities—way before they hit it big.

At 16, a modeling agent from Storm Model Management changed her life forever when he approached her at the Reading Festival, a popular concert. From there, Chung quickly fell into the fashion world—and the rest is history.

Above, take a look at Chung as a just another average, if adorable, kid posing for a pic in a puffy winter coat. How far she’s come!
